A little dissapointed that we have to wait 2 weeks for new DLC only for it to be something that was already made available. If you guys want to release the preorder mods thats fine but there should also be something new for the people who already have this mod

@10 it devolves into D4D because a download is worth far, far more credit towards reaching level 30 than actually racing is.

The act of multiplying Create XP awarded by TWENTY made racing an irrelevant way to progress towards the level cap. It’s far more effective spending your time promoting your work in other ways than it is actually playing the game.

I really wish we wouldn’t be teased with Kratos, Drake, and Ratchet & Clank any more. Unless today’s codes can be redeemed multiple times, no one will get them unless they are very quick.

ModNation Racers is 3 months old, & I think it’s time to no longer make them pre-order exclusives anymore. People like me really want them, and have been waiting for “future DLC announcements” only to be disappointed every time.

I hope I don’t come off as rude, but there have been other pre-order bonuses for other games made available to the public faster than these.

@14 forget that the whole problem could be avoided if people weren’t whiny little baby about their creations arent being downloaded, to those who do that I ask, Have you ever thought they dont get downloaded because they suck?

@17; the issue is that the community is being driven AWAY from actually racing one another properly.

This is -precisely- why you see small groups banding together to boost one particular Mod or Kart onto the Hot Mods pedestals.

Downloads are far better XP for far less effort. And the quality of one’s creations don’t actually matter. Many players are making dummy accounts to download their own creations over and over again because the system in place rewards doing so.

I don’t see any reason why racing should take a backseat in a kart racer other than UFG being able to brag about how many creations get made when they push for players to Create & Share rather than actually Play. Which, I thought, was the the main focus point of the Play, Create, Share model of game development.

@25; I’m unsure I’d call hours burned making dummy accounts, downloading, wiping, and repeating that process over and over an unwillingness to work.

It surely isn’t the way the system was intended to work. I wish only to see a system in which people feel it worthwhile to actually be on the tracks. The entire online racing aspect of the game feels like an afterthought under the way things currently work.
